20 years in stand-up for the Taskmaster cheeky texts icon, multi-award winner, YouTube cult figure, Radio 4 favourite and recently ‘Baby Reindeer’ actor: Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this – along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public, the current state of the UK sausage industry, and much more – in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show!

One of Ireland's most popular music acts, The Tumbling Paddies are now coming to England! Song writing and original material is a major part of their success. Hit songs include Pretty Girl, Night On The Town and The Way I Am, which topped the Irish charts for 10 consecutive weeks. Having grown from strength to strength over the past few years, it is no surprise that their music is being played in venues all over the world. Formed in 2014 in their beloved County Fermanagh, they soon became the region's favourite covers band. After welcoming Oisin on keyboards, the band started to write and record their own original music, gaining more and more followers. The Tumbling Paddies soon became one of Ireland's most prolific touring acts, playing sell-out gigs all over the country, including TF Castlebar and the INEC in Killarney. The band are now enjoying global success with recent tours in Dubai, Germany, and Spain. With an exuberant, energy-filled, live show, The Tumbling Paddies, will perform a mix of original songs and classic Irish hits, in what promises to be an incredibly uplifting night of live music.
